Charming cottage located in Cap Estate - Orchid Cottage

Favourite Features:
• Semi-outdoor shower brings the natural elements into the bathroom.
• Amazing east coast views and breezes.• Small back garden with hammock is a great place to relax and read a book.

Good to Know:
• Can be rented separately or as part of Villa Cadasse.
• Villa Cadasse is located above Orchid Cottage (both units have their own pools and private entrances).
• US $1 000 security deposit payable on arrival.

Charming, intimate, and beautifully appointed with expansive views, it hits all the right notes. Jalousie shuttered doors open out to a large wooden deck with an informal breakfast and dining area. Off the deck is a private pool with vistas that take in the golf course and the coast. The cottage is fully self-contained with an open concept kitchen and living area that is bright and breezy. The double bedroom is air-conditioned and adjoins a unique, romantic semi-outdoor shower. Guests can enjoy a truly laid back, tropical retreat, and just exhale.

The view is better than expected, minutes away from restaurants and bars including the Rodney Bay Area, the bedroom is very comfortable/ air conditioned and overall a great place to stay if you're planning to stay in the Northern part of the island.

great location, very private
My wife and I loved the area, it was very private which is exactly what we were looking for. It was very close to rodney bay area, short drive to beaches and pigeon island.

Margueritte our concierge, was wonderful helping with excursions. Sherma was so wonderful keeping the cottage clean and is a wonderful cook and gave us wonderful recommendations for dinner and things to do. Brian did a wonderful job keeping the pool clean. I couldn't thank these three enough for making our honey moon as great as they did. We can't wait to come back to the island!

Great Cozy Cottage
My husband and I had a great stay at Orchid Cottage. Brian was there upon arrival and explained everything to us. The view is incredible and it was just enough room for the two of us. Thank you to Margueritte for always being available when we needing something.

Lovely cottage with a fantastic view from the deck and quiet, private surroundings which is perfect for a relaxing holiday. A car is pretty essential as restaurants and supermarkets are not within walking distance but there are lots of beaches and bays within a 15-20 minute drive. The hosts are easily contactable if you need anything and the cottage is well equipped. In all a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Orchid Cottage was a romantic getaway. The pool was warm and delightful! The staff were wonderful! While the drive/driveway was a bit treacherous, it was well worth it. Close to do much. Wonderful restaurants. But the best of all, was waking up to INCREDIBLE views every morning, and sitting on the deck or in the pool every evening. Best trip ever!!

Could not Stay
Unfortunately, due to my husband's illness we were unable to stay. However, throughout the booking process up until the day we were supposed to depart the property manager was communicated with him. Simply based off of that we highly recommend this property and the management team who were understanding of our situation.

Beautiful!
The cottage was adorable and has an amazing view. It is small but cozy, perfect for 2 people. The housekeeper comes twice a week so the place is always very clean. The only negative we experienced was the drive to the place. Google maps does not know how to route to it properly and kept taking us on dead ends and the roads thru the neighborhood are dirt and VERY bumpy and filled with potholes. You have to drive slow. Once we learned the proper route though it wasn't too bad, just be prepared. Otherwise the neighborhood itself felt very safe and it is only a 10 min drive to dearby shopping and food around Rodney Bay.

Lovely Cottage - Some Rental Shortcomings
We very much enjoyed our 15 might stay at Orchid Cottage in Cap Estate, St Lucia. It suited our needs entirely, has a fantastic balcony with wonderful views, a lovely plunge pool (not heated, other than by the sun), and is very comfortable and characterful. The support of Sherma and Brian during our stay was great, and some of the maintenance shortcomings highlighted when we arrived were quickly resolved (broken soap dish and light switch). We have just a few comments: - The bedroom blind was broken making it very difficult to open and this was not resolved. - The fire alarm battery ran out twice (beeping in the middle of the night on both occasions) and rather than replace the battery a second time the alarm was removed! - The side garden (with hammock in the pictures) remained a mess. - Many of the kitchen items are very tired, with all food containers (tupperware type) broken / split. - The television is tiny, but we didn't watch! Outside the control of the rental company is that there was some noise during the day from local building work, and motorcyclists revving their bikes in the early hours of the morning on some nights. Plus, you will need a hire car or arrange rather expensive taxis (circa US$20 for short one-way trips to local beaches or shops).

An amazing first trip
My fiancé and I traveled for the first time and decided to stay here based on the reviews and location. It did not dissappoint it was the perfect mix of having staff and independence. The place was the perfect size for the two of us and Brian and Sherma were absolutely amazing providing transportation, cottage cleanliness and some delicious goat curry, and great recommendations to local areas. It was amazing to get up, take a dip in the pool and relax on some days and other days head to local beaches. We will definetly be coming back, if you're thinking about spending time here I highly recommend.

St Lucia 8 day Getaway
The setting of the property was stellar. The pool was perfect! Couldn't get my wife out of it. The kitchen was adequate. The bedroom is the only room with air conditioning. The toilet had a problem with leaking out the bottom seal. Manager responded quickly with a plumber that said that he couldn't fix it with us there. Real bummer. The property had odors at times and when I checked I saw that the septic tank has drain lines that are not underground, just draining down the property. Overall the people is what truly made this stay! Brian, Lucilla and Illtad were great!

This cottage is absolutely breathtaking! Such gorgeous views and a very peaceful area. The pool was very nice as well, overlooking Cap Estate which is the best view ever! There is AC & a fan in the bedroom and only a fan in the living room/kitchen area so that tends to be very warm, but if you leave the patio door open, you can get a nice cool breeze to circulate inside. I even used the BBQ grill outside which was was nice - (Brian the caretaker helped me with setting this up - he was very helpful and kind throughout my entire stay!) Be prepared for the bugs and flies, however you will be able to find bug spray in the cottage which you can use to spray the rooms to minimize the amount of bugs/flies, so I made sure to do that every day. All in all, I will say this place has a very romantic, private and serene tone to it which I think will be perfect and better suited for couples unless if you like the reclusiveness on your own then this will also be perfect for you :)

Nice villa in Cap estate which is a residential/ golf area. 10 min drive to Gros Islet and Pigeon Island. Lovely views and the deck and pool were great. Big comfortable bed. Naked fisherman bar / restaurant / beach. We were looked after very well by all. There was an issue with the plumbing but they sorted it out extremely quickly and efficiently. Thanks for a great stay.

5 star stay
Our stay at Orchid cottage was amazing from start to finish. It was me and my girlfriends first trip to St. Lucia and we felt right at home in this cottage. The views from the balcony are so beautiful to wake up to everyday. The pool is perfect and is secluded and private. The hammock in the back is so relaxing and you can take in some more amazing views from it. The bedroom is big and air conditioned. Brian was a huge help on the property for advice and there to answer and questions you have. He was very kind and made us feel very comfortable. When we come back we will definitely stay at this Villa we found on AirBnB again. Thank you!

Orchid Cottage was amazing and the staff made our experience even more incredible. Margueritte reached out a couple weeks in advance of our trip and was able to book 2 excursions for us and when one was cancelled due to curfew, she remained in touch about possible rescheduling options. I would highly recommend booking the shared catamaran experience. You are able to do so much for an amazing price. When we arrived, we arrived later than expected and Brian was there waiting for us with a smile, and he was able to show us around quickly. The view from the cottage was even better in person and when we were unable to leave the villa due to all day Sunday curfew, the pool kept us perfectly occupied all day long. I highly recommend staying here if you can!

I highly recommend staying at Orchid Cottage for your next trip to St. Lucia. The unit itself is beautiful with amazing views from the balcony, privacy from neighboring units, a private pool, and air conditioned bedroom. From a value standpoint, I am not sure you can have better accommodations than Orchid Cottage. The unit also includes a private parking spot which is a great convenience, since you will need a rental car to get around the island (be sure to rent an SUV, as you have to drive on some unpaved roads to get to the unit). The hosts are amazing, they were there to greet us when we arrived, provided recommendations on restaurants and local beaches, and arranged for a doctor to come to our unit to give us COVID tests which were needed to return to the U.S. This is not the everything-at-your-fingertips resort experience, but at the same time you are not going to be roughing it by any means. If I return to St. Lucia, I would stay here again.
